Emmy Rossum is in negotiations to star as the female lead in Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical feature The Phantom of the Opera, to be directed by Joel Schumacher.

Lloyd Webber and Schumacher wrote the screenplay. No domestic distributor is yet on board. Rossum, repped by CAA, stars in the Clint Eastwood-directed Mystic River for Warner Bros. Pictures and 20th Century Fox's sci-fi thriller The Day After Tomorrow for director Roland Emmerich. The actress' credits include Passionada, Happy Now and the telefilm The Audrey Hepburn Story.
